Via Fauro attack

The Via Fauro attack occurred on 14 May 1993 when the Sicilian Mafia attempted to kill the Italian journalist Maurizio Costanzo with a car bomb at the Via Ruggero Fauro in Rome. Costanzo was known for his anti-Mafia broadcasts, so the Mafia planted 100 kilograms of dynamite in a car outside of Costanzo's home. The explosion did not take any lives, and it injured 24 people, including Costanzo's driver and bodyguard. It was one of a wave of Mafia bombings that occurred from 1992 to 1993.
